The news was expected after the 33-year-old was not included in Volker Finke's new-look Cameroon squad that was announced on Saturday.

And it was confirmed three days later that Eto'o had lost the leadership role in an official statement from the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT), who said the decision had been made by the sports ministry.
